NISAR mission: Know all about NASA and ISRO’s satellite mission

NASA and ISRO will launch their collaborative satellite mission dubbed NISAR in the year 2024. Know all about the mission.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has another major mission lined up called NISAR or  NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar mission which will be conducted in collaboration with NASA. The mission aims to study climate change and the impact of natural disasters.  (NASA/JPL)

The NISAR mission will be studying Earth's global carbon cycle and climate change with the help of two radar frequencies, L-band and S-band. The satellite will conduct an in-depth study on natural disasters and how they impact the environment as well as the Earth's surface. It will collect the smallest measurements and details about our climate. (NASA/JPL)

The NISAR mission will also be studying the forest and wetland ecosystems from where the majority of greenhouse gases are produced. Studying their impact will enable scientists and policymakers to take corrective actions. (NASA/JPL)

According to NASA, the mission will be equipped with an L-band synthetic aperture radar, a high-speed data communication system, GPS receivers, a solid-state recorder, and a payload data subsystem provided by NASA. ISRO is responsible for providing the spacecraft bus, the S-band radar, the launch vehicle and all the required launch services. (Pixabay)

As per reports, NISAR in every 12-days will conduct a scan on Earth’s land and ice surfaces which will help researchers to study the absorption and release of carbon gases. The overall scientific data will help prepare countries to combat natural disasters or reduce their impact. (Pixabay)
